Stellantis plans 29 new EVs by 2030 and a new consolidated architecture

Stellantis has unveiled an ambitious plan to launch 29 new battery electric vehicle (BEV) models by 2030 as part of a broader €60 billion investment strategy aimed at strengthening its position in electric mobility. The company, which owns brands such as Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Peugeot, and Fiat, intends to introduce a total of 60 new vehicles and 50 significant model refreshes over the next decade. This product rollout includes a diverse mix of 29 BEVs, 15 plug-in hybrids or range-extended EVs, 24 hybrids, and 39 internal combustion engine (ICE) or mild hybrid vehicles, reflecting a multi-powertrain approach rather than an exclusive shift to electric. Central to Stellantis’ strategy is the development of the STLA One, a new modular vehicle architecture designed to support multiple powertrains and vehicle segments ranging from B to D. This 800-volt platform consolidates five previous platforms into a scalable architecture, intended to improve efficiency and reduce costs by 20 per cent. The STLA One will also integrate advanced technologies such as the STLA Brain, a centralised software and computing system, and the STLA SmartCockpit, a new user interface aimed at enhancing the customer experience. By 2035, Stellantis expects this architecture to underpin over 30 models and exceed two million units in production. The company’s focus remains firmly on consumer choice, emphasising flexibility across electric, hybrid, and traditional powertrains to meet varied customer demands. Stellantis plans to concentrate 70 per cent of its brand and product investments on four core global brands—Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat—alongside its commercial vehicle division, Pro One. CEO Antonio Filosa highlighted that the FaSTLAne 2030 plan is designed to drive sustainable, profitable growth by aligning product offerings with customer preferences and leveraging the company’s diverse brand portfolio. Stellantis is also adopting new battery technologies to enhance affordability and reduce reliance on critical raw materials. The increased use of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries and the integration of batteries into the vehicle structure are expected to lower costs, weight, and complexity. Ned Curic, the company’s chief engineering and technology officer, described the STLA One platform as a flexible multi-energy solution that avoids inefficiencies associated with single-powertrain designs, signalling Stellantis’ commitment to a pragmatic and adaptable approach to the evolving automotive landscape.
